 John
Greenwood, Chief Executive Officer
 John
Greenwood is the founder and owner of Greenwoods Communications and
the Greenwoods Group. Since
first supplying the industry in 1987, John has evolved with the market
and has always believed in the philosophy of turnkey services. His
vision meant that the company was already providing cost effective
outsourcing services before it became prominent when the market collapsed
in 2001.
John is responsible for the overall strategic direction of Greenwoods
Communications. The company was formed in 1989 to target the telecoms
market just before the industry witnessed rapid growth as a result
of deregulation. Prior to this John managed Greenwoods
Engineers Megastore, a specialised tool merchant in Birmingham
that is still going strong today.
John has remained one step ahead at all times, by listening to customers
and in his understanding of the market. He has had the foresight and
creativity to continually add services to the company's portfolio
that assist customers meet their short and long-term business objectives.
